Going to go a bit more inside baseball then I probably should for this, so taking off my developer hat for the rest of this post, but when Paul made that statement, he was running on literally only 45 minutes of sleep the night before, and only 2 hours of sleep on Thursday going into Friday making extra sure the Super Pods where in a state that they worked flawlessly for the convention and not break down and potentially have to turn away attendees that we guaranteed would have a shot at the pods. Or deny the streamers or the standard ticket holders from being able to try out the pods. (Which they didn't. Not one pod broke down the entire convention to my knowledge.)
And how does that help the gigantically vast majority of players who didn't go to mech con? Our dollars ultimately got spent on the pods - what do we get out of it?
At least if the time, effort, and money got spent on in-game improvements that all players get to enjoy, we'd be able to say the resources were well spent.
